REd APPLES of Norwalk is a grassroots non-partisan community coalition organized around improving Norwalk Public Schools by advocating for systematic reform.

Since February, 2010 we have been dedicated to politely, publicly and persistently communicating key education issues and initiatives to parents, Board of Education and City leaders, school district staff, Norwalk businesses and its citizens. More than 125 residents, educators, parents and politicians have affiliated and registered their support for our efforts. We also act as community representatives, working with ConnCan, in statewide advocacy reform initiatives.

As reflected in our name, we believe in Reforming Education and promote the following principles:

Accountability for all stakeholders in the education process

Parent and community involvement

Pressure to reform the status quo through the use of data and the political process

Leadership, vision and collaboration from those in charge

Educational standards and achievement raised for ALL students

Support and time for ongoing teacher and staff professional development
